Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Ryan.
00:00:07Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:13What the hell is going on here?
00:00:16Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:19Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do?
00:00:23Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:28They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:32Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:38Well, looks like Shepard Youth might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:00:48Hey, this is a privacy game.
00:00:50Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:53Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:01:00But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:08Do I know you?
00:01:12What are you doing?
00:01:13What are you doing? You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.
00:01:17You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:20This is incredible.
00:01:22What's going on?
00:01:24The shorting attempt. It's failing. The price is holding.
00:01:29Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:36We met before.
00:01:38They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:40Hold on. Tell me. How could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:44If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:58Jason, can we have five now?
00:02:02Mr. Yates.
00:02:13What? Only two bodyguards this time?
00:02:16You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:18No, ma'am. I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:02:22Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:27Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:32Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:37Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:43Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:47Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:52Ma'am, at least do me a favour and let Toby walk you up to the house. For my sake.
00:03:08Divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:10Sign it.
00:03:16Why?
00:03:17You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:19The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now.
00:03:22Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:26The Shepherd Group.
00:03:27And you?
00:03:29You're just a cleaner.
00:03:31The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:35I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:37I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:41You?
00:03:42A cleaning woman?
00:03:44Handing out million dollar deals?
00:03:46Don't make me laugh.
00:03:50I did!
00:03:51It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:54I was the one who got Bryan Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:58What are you doing here?
00:04:00Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:04Amber's family is practically a local royalty.
00:04:07Local royalty.
00:04:09A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:12And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:15Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor.
00:04:19Doesn't it?
00:04:20Ben?
00:04:23What's going on?
00:04:25Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:27Because of her?
00:04:28Oh, please.
00:04:29I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:32You're still a cleaner.
00:04:33You just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:34You're grown apart, that's all.
00:04:35You're grown apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:40No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:44I won't sign anything.
00:04:47Huh.
00:04:49Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:51Ben.
00:04:52All right.
00:04:53Here.
00:04:54A hundred thousand dollars.
00:04:55Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:59A hundred thousand dollars.
00:05:01I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:06Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:09Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:11You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:13This is our act of charity, Jordan.
00:05:16Here.
00:05:17A million dollars.
00:05:18Take this.
00:05:19You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:21Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:24I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
00:05:31Since none of you respect me.
00:05:35A cleaning lady threatening us.
00:05:37I'm so scared.
00:05:40Just leave.
00:05:41You already make this house stink.
00:05:50Makeup, she's gone.
00:05:51Go to written store.
00:05:55Sir?
00:05:57Laura Lewis' information.
00:06:02She's been Harrison's wife.
00:06:04No wonder why she won his apartment.
00:06:06Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:09Divorced her?
00:06:12Wait a minute.
00:06:14Don't you remember?
00:06:16She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:20Yeah.
00:06:21She saved our hiding now.
00:06:23Remember?
00:06:25Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:30I don't know.
00:06:32Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:36Hey!
00:06:37What are you doing?
00:06:38Let go of me!
00:06:39You attacked Amber.
00:06:40Apologize this instant.
00:06:45Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:47We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:49You refused it.
00:06:50And now you're stealing.
00:06:52She couldn't afford it.
00:06:53You're a thief.
00:06:54That's mine!
00:06:55Give it back!
00:06:56Hey!
00:06:57Hey!
00:06:58Hey!
00:06:59Hey!
00:07:00Hey!
00:07:01Hey!
00:07:02Hey!
00:07:03Hey!
00:07:04Hey!
00:07:05Hey!
00:07:06Hey!
00:07:07Hey!
00:07:08Hey!
00:07:09Hey!
00:07:10Hey!
00:07:112017.
00:07:12On Marina!
00:07:14Hey!
00:07:18Hey!
00:07:19Hey, how's it going to hatchet
00:07:31off the gate?
00:07:33of the Shepard Group.
00:07:34Oh, please.
00:07:35A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:38You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:41That's really interesting, considering I thought you were the one
00:07:44that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:46That's ridiculous.
00:07:48He doesn't look like that.
00:07:50My ring.
00:07:51Jason, give it back to Ms Lewis.
00:07:53Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:55Yeah.
00:07:57Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:07:59Now.
00:08:00Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:01Who the heck is this matter?
00:08:03Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:05It's all right, ma'am.
00:08:06This is none of your business.
00:08:08All brown dead bodies.
00:08:09You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:12We are the Harrisons.
00:08:14You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:16Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:08:19I go back.
00:08:20What?
00:08:21Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:23That's a lie.
00:08:24Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:08:26You come back here and explain yourself.
00:08:28Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:08:32Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the $100 million deal?
00:08:37Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:42I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:45After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:49No, um, no.
00:08:51The event will proceed.
00:08:54Besides, I'll be there.
00:08:59There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:02Who are you, truly?
00:09:04You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:09:08Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:10Mr. Gates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're going
00:09:21to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.
00:09:25Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:31Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:37Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:38I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:42Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:53After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:09:59Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:01Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:05Security?
00:10:06Get that woman out of here.
00:10:08We don't need cleaners at this event.
00:10:10Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:12This is a business event, after all.
00:10:15Business?
00:10:16You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:18A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:21Just get out.
00:10:22Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:26You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:27Well, Ben, do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:33Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:35Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:36You don't belong here.
00:10:39Just get out!
00:10:45That's what you get.
00:10:51This contract is mine.
00:10:54To give or take away as I see fit.
00:10:57Don't be ridiculous.
00:10:59This is insane.
00:11:00Who do you think you are?
00:11:01Yeah, put that down.
00:11:02You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:04Security?
00:11:05She's lost a mind.
00:11:07This is a disaster.
00:11:08Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:11:13but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:16Yes.
00:11:17Yes.
00:11:18Yes.
00:11:18Yes.
00:11:18Yes.
00:11:20Yes.
00:11:20Yes.
00:11:22Yes.
00:11:22Yes.
00:11:22Yes.
00:11:22Yes.
00:11:27I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:11:40It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:11:47You see, it's...
00:11:48Who are you, Laura's new squeeze?
00:11:51Excuse me.
00:11:52Do you know who I am?
00:11:53Is this true?
00:11:54You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:11:57Shame on you!
00:11:58Mr. Shepard, I...
00:11:59For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:12:03I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:12:05Oh, please.
00:12:06A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:12:09You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:12:12That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:12:17That's ridiculous.
00:12:19He doesn't look like that.
00:12:21My ring.
00:12:22Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:12:24Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:12:28Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:12:30Now.
00:12:31Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:12:32Who the heck is this man?
00:12:34Have you been sneaking around?
00:12:36It's all right, ma'am.
00:12:37This is none of your business.
00:12:39All bragged dead bodies.
00:12:40You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.
00:12:43We are the Harrisons.
00:12:45You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:12:47Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:12:50Now go back.
00:12:51What?
00:12:52Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:12:54That's a lie.
00:12:55Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:12:57You come back here and explain yourself.
00:12:59Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.

00:13:21Um.

00:13:25Besides, I'll be there.
00:13:27There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:13:34Who are you?
00:13:35Truly.
00:13:36You'll find out.
00:13:38Mr. Shepard.
00:13:39Um.
00:13:40Can you pull up over here, please?
00:13:41Mr. Gates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're going
00:13:53to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.
00:13:58Make sure everyone is there.
00:14:00Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:14:09Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:14:10I'll start making arrangements tomorrow, Laura.
00:14:13Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:14:20After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:14:31Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:14:35Laura, what are you doing here?
00:14:37Security?
00:14:38Get that woman out of here.
00:14:39We don't need cleaners at this event.
00:14:42Why wouldn't I be here?
00:14:43This is a business event, after all.

00:14:57You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:14:59Oh, Ben.
00:15:00Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:15:04Laura, this is really important for me.
00:15:06Do not ruin this, okay?
00:15:08You don't belong here.
00:15:10Just get out!
00:15:11Oh.
00:15:16That's what you get.
00:15:19This contract is mine to give or take away as I see fit.
00:15:29Don't be ridiculous.
00:15:30This is insane.
00:15:31Who do you think you are?
00:15:33Yeah, put that down.
00:15:34You have no idea what you're doing.
00:15:36Security?
00:15:36She's lost a mind.
00:15:38This is a disaster.
00:15:39Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't
00:15:47deserve it, you really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:16:01You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:16:15You're so silly, Laura.
00:16:17Oh, please, honey.
00:16:18You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:16:21Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:16:24I was the one that started this deal with the shepherds, and after careful consideration,
00:16:31I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the shepherds.
00:16:36You really think that the shepherd group and I could be torn up by something that you've
00:16:40done?
00:16:41You have no authority here.
00:16:43Of course she has the authority.
00:16:44That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:16:53What is he doing here?
00:16:54Mr. Shepard?
00:16:55How does he know her?
00:16:56Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:16:59Laura, are you all right?
00:17:02Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:17:05There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:17:08There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:09Listen, this contract with Shepard Group is officially terminated.
00:17:15Effective immediately.
00:17:18Wait a minute.
00:17:19This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:17:21It's her.
00:17:22She ruined the contract.
00:17:24You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:17:25An affair?
00:17:27She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:17:31Mom, please, it's okay.
00:17:32This man is...
00:17:33Don't touch me.
00:17:35That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair, and you just
00:17:39stand there?
00:17:40You're a disgrace.
00:17:41An adulterer.
00:17:42You deserve to be arrested.
00:17:43Shut up.
00:17:46Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked
00:17:52you.
00:17:52Tricked?
00:17:54Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?
00:17:58What was my name before we got married?
00:18:02Laura Lewis, right?
00:18:04Lewis Group?
00:18:06The Financial Giants?
00:18:07There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:18:12That's crazy.
00:18:13There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:18:16That's absurd.
00:18:18It's...
00:18:18It's...
00:18:19It's absurd!
00:18:22A high society aires wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:18:25Yeah.
00:18:26Yeah, it's a lie.
00:18:27It's a lie.
00:18:27This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:18:29In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:18:32She's nothing special.
00:18:35She only married me out of gratitude.
00:18:36I was just a waitress.
00:18:39How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:18:42First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:18:45Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:18:47When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:18:50Mm-hmm.
00:18:50Now look at me.
00:18:51I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:18:54And look at her.
00:18:55Still just a cleaner.
00:18:56Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:19:00She's doing all this out of spite.
00:19:03She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:19:05She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:19:09Let's make something clear.
00:19:12I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:19:16I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:19:22Don't lie.
00:19:23You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:19:26Oops.
00:19:27That roof was built with lies.
00:19:30Kathy, you never respected me.
00:19:33And Ben?
00:19:34Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:19:37And the cheating.
00:19:40I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:19:43You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:19:47If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.
00:19:54Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:19:57From everything.
00:19:59Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:20:04Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:20:07And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:20:08I don't think so.
00:20:10You're a cleaner.
00:20:11You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:20:13Nobody cares about you.
00:20:15Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:20:18I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:20:28I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:20:30I think all jobs are important.
00:20:32Right, Mom?
00:20:33Ben, what are you doing?
00:20:35But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:20:40A janitor.
00:20:41Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:20:50You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:20:55Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:20:58This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:21:03I, but, well...
00:21:05A lie, you say?
00:21:06Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:21:10But I don't recognize you.
00:21:13Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:21:16Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:21:19This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:21:23But the contract...
00:21:25I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:21:27So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:21:32Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:21:34Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis' involvement.
00:21:38I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:21:45Today, I want to make it clear.
00:21:48Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:21:55Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:21:57You destroyed everything.
00:21:58What?
00:22:00No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:22:01I can explain.
00:22:03Lewis?
00:22:04Lewis Family Group?
00:22:06This can't be.
00:22:07Believe what you want, Ben.
00:22:10Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:22:15Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:22:19And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:22:25Everyone, listen to me.
00:22:28Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison Group.
00:22:33A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.
00:22:40The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:22:42Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:22:47Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:22:50Someone get a doctor.
00:22:57Help!
00:22:58Mom!
00:22:59Someone get a doctor!
00:23:00Mom!
00:23:01It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:23:07Indeed.
00:23:08Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:23:10What?
00:23:22What now?
00:23:23Mom, this is not all on me.
00:23:26Not on you!
00:23:27I was trying to help.
00:23:30She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:23:32Flaunted their affair.
00:23:33Exactly.
00:23:34And those dresses?
00:23:36Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:23:38Miss Smith, how could you do this?
00:23:41We trusted you completely.
00:23:43What?
00:23:44No, no.
00:23:45I got Ben the deal.
00:23:47I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.
00:23:50She's a liar.
00:23:52Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:23:53You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:23:56Lied?
00:23:57You're on my side.
00:23:59And anyways, I have a plan.
00:24:01The Shepards are no one special.
00:24:04We can expose Laura and all her lies.
00:24:06Go national.
00:24:07We can make ourselves a household name.
00:24:11Now, if you'll excuse me,
00:24:13I have a very important phone call to make.
00:24:19Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:24:23Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:24:25It's all right, Laura.
00:24:27You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:24:29Can I ask you something?
00:24:30Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:24:32Maybe a hotel?
00:24:33Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:24:36I'll be fine.
00:24:38Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:24:40Actually, Laura, actually, Laura, there is something else.
00:24:44Would you consider to go out for dinner sometime?
00:24:46Just casually, of course.
00:24:48Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:24:52Please, call me Brian.
00:24:54And yes, technically, you're single now.
00:25:00Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:25:09Proper, Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:25:17Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:25:21Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:25:25So what do you say?
00:25:26Dinner?
00:25:29Just two people getting to know each other.
00:25:30I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:25:36I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't.
00:25:40Wait, Laura.
00:25:40Just here is fine.
00:25:45Laura?
00:25:50Laura, who is it?
00:25:52Laura, wait!
00:25:54Jason, find out who owns that car.
00:25:58And do it fast.
00:26:00Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:26:08It's Amber Smith.
00:26:10Mr. Lewis?
00:26:11I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:26:16I don't know who you are, Miss Smith.
00:26:19How did you get this number?
00:26:21Don't worry about that right now.
00:26:23I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:26:26Someone I know very well.
00:26:29Impersonating my niece?
00:26:31And where is this fake Laura?
00:26:35Right here in Maplewood.
00:26:37And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:26:40Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:26:44And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:26:49In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:26:52I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:26:56All will be revealed then.
00:26:58Very well.
00:27:00I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:27:03But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:27:06It won't be.
00:27:07Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:27:09Thank you, Mr.
00:27:09That little rascal, Laura.
00:27:17I wonder what she's up to now.
00:27:24That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubler.
00:27:29Oh.
00:27:30Lewis family?
00:27:31That's interesting.
00:27:35Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:27:38I'm not sure.
00:27:41Brian!
00:27:42There you are.
00:27:43I've missed you.
00:27:44Chloe.
00:27:45What are you up to?
00:27:47Chloe.
00:27:48What are you doing here?
00:27:50What do you mean?
00:27:51Can't I visit the man I love?
00:27:53We ended things for a reason.
00:27:56It was just one teensy mistake.
00:27:58I was...
00:27:58I was a little bit tipsy.
00:28:01Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:28:03Teensy mistake, you said?
00:28:04You cheated on me.
00:28:09Is this your new fling?
00:28:12Ex-divorcee.
00:28:14Used a clean floor.
00:28:15It's quite the catch, aren't you saying?
00:28:17Look, my relationship with her is none of your business.
00:28:22And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:28:25Please.
00:28:27An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:28:31It's a classic story.
00:28:32That's enough.
00:28:33I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:28:36You want to be careful, Brian.
00:28:38Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:28:41If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat,
00:28:43you ought to be more careful.
00:28:49Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:28:57This is it.
00:28:58The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.
00:29:01Once I'm done speaking with them,
00:29:03I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:29:05I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:29:10Well, well, well.
00:29:12Look who it is.
00:29:13What a surprise.
00:29:15Did Brian teach you already?
00:29:17That's none of your business.
00:29:20Now, move aside, please.
00:29:21Laura?
00:29:22Just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:29:25You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:29:27Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:29:28Don't you have any shame?
00:29:29If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:29:34Oh, the nerve.
00:29:35After everything you've done,
00:29:36you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:29:40Seriously?
00:29:41I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:29:46Oh, that's gold.
00:29:47You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?
00:29:50Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:29:52You don't deserve to be here.
00:29:53The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:29:59And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you.
00:30:03Wake up, Ben.
00:30:04Oh, Laura!
00:30:06Laura, come on.
00:30:07Why do you always pull this on me?
00:30:09I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:30:13I know what this is.
00:30:15So stupid.
00:30:17Oh, such a trap.
00:30:19Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:30:21He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:30:25Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.
00:30:28And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:30:32Well, before you all start celebrating,
00:30:36why don't you take a look at this?
00:30:41Oh, that's rich.
00:30:43You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:30:46I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.
00:30:50Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:30:53You mean my uncle?
00:30:56Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:30:59Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:31:03And besides, this looks fake.
00:31:06She's a liar.
00:31:07This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:31:13It grants me access to the VIP elevator,
00:31:16which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:31:18She's lying.
00:31:20They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:31:25Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:31:29Not that I know of.
00:31:31See?
00:31:32She's lying.
00:31:32There you have it, Laura.
00:31:34Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:31:37Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:31:42Here, take this one.
00:31:43Lead me to the vice president's.
00:31:45You have no idea what you just did.
00:31:50There will be consequences.
00:31:52Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,
00:32:00why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:32:05Security!
00:32:06Security!
00:32:06We need this woman removed immediately.
00:32:07She is harassing me.
00:32:09We're done with your games, Laura.
00:32:10You're just a fraud.
00:32:11Ma'am, please move.
00:32:12What?
00:32:13Hold on!
00:32:14Brian Shepard?
00:32:18You think money buys you the right to walk all over people?
00:32:21Well, it doesn't.
00:32:22Yeah.
00:32:23Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:32:26What other plans do you have to destroy this time?
00:32:28Get you out?
00:32:29After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:32:32Don't play dumb.
00:32:34We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:32:36How long has this little affair been going on?
00:32:38You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.
00:32:41Hold on a second.
00:32:42An affair?
00:32:45You think Laura and I?
00:32:47You people are unbelievable.
00:32:51Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.
00:32:54We have a situation.
00:32:56What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?
00:32:58Is that it?
00:32:59We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:33:01Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.
00:33:03How can I help you this evening?
00:33:05Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:33:09It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:33:11These people don't think that I belong here.
00:33:15Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:33:18A cleaner?
00:33:19Nonsense.
00:33:20I personally agreed to Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:33:24Exactly.
00:33:25Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:33:33I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:33:37No.
00:33:37This woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.
00:33:41She's been this way since my son divorced her.
00:33:43She's insane.
00:33:44Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:33:48She helped secure a profitable investment for Sheppard Group.
00:33:52No, it's a lie.
00:33:55Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you, too.
00:33:59You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:34:06Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:34:09Wait, is that why you're covering for her?
00:34:12Because of the affair?
00:34:13Because she slept with you?
00:34:14Excuse me.
00:34:15Fuck off.
00:34:15Who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:34:18Enough of this.
00:34:19That's enough.
00:34:20Have you ever embarrassed yourself enough?
00:34:21Yeah.
00:34:22This is Lewis Group property.
00:34:24Behave or I'll call security.
00:34:26But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.
00:34:29She shouldn't be here.
00:34:31Since you're having trouble understanding, Ben, let me make it clear.
00:34:36This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.
00:34:39It's mine to come or go as I please.
00:34:47Thank you for sending me in, Brian.
00:34:49I owe you one.
00:34:52We'll talk about this later.
00:34:54Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harrison.
00:35:03I think so.
00:35:03I don't think we're going to have a seat.
00:35:05Come in.
00:35:06Excuse me, Vice Presidents.
00:35:11I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:35:15I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?
00:35:18Maplewood Branch.
00:35:19Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Ms. Smith.
00:35:25Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:35:29Ian Lewis...
00:35:30Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:35:37Oh, expansion plans, Ms. Smith, a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:35:45And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:35:49But Ian Lewis assured me that...
00:35:53Ms. Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:35:56Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.
00:35:59Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:36:01Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave.
00:36:04If you don't, we'll call security.
00:36:11Hey, stop there.
00:36:13These elevators are VIP only.
00:36:15Back, please.
00:36:16Of course.
00:36:17My apologies.
00:36:18Laura?
00:36:27Vice-presidents!
00:36:29It's so good to see all of you again.
00:36:32Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.
00:36:34Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. Lewis.
00:36:37The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:36:43The board are begging you to come back, Ms. Lewis.
00:36:48Well, please sit.
00:36:50Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:36:55We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.
00:37:00Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.
00:37:04They'll all be there in one spot.
00:37:05Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.
00:37:10She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:37:17She said that, did she?
00:37:19Well, Ms. Smith is a liar.
00:37:21There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:37:24She lied so blatantly, it was, it's unbelievable.
00:37:28Well, don't worry.
00:37:29I found a much more suitable partner.
00:37:34Shepherd Group.
00:37:35Shepherd Group.
00:37:37Their rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:37:40Do you have anything to do with that?
00:37:43So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:37:47Oh, don't worry about Amber.
00:37:51I've got plans for her.
00:37:55Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the meeting from us.
00:38:03Cheers.
00:38:05Cheers.
00:38:05Cheers.
00:38:15You too.
00:38:15Go.
00:38:16I'm not leaving.
00:38:17What are you talking about?
00:38:18No, come on.
00:38:18Wait!
00:38:18I'm Amber Smith.
00:38:20I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.
00:38:22What are you doing?
00:38:22These are my guests.
00:38:23Yeah, that's right.
00:38:24Tell them who we are.
00:38:25Yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.
00:38:29Lewis Group Maplewood branch?
00:38:30No such thing, ma'am.
00:38:32And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:38:34Of course.
00:38:36Laura.
00:38:37She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:38:40That's how she gets away with everything.
00:38:42You underestimate her, Kathy.
00:38:43She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:38:46No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:38:49Careful with your words.
00:38:51Both of you.
00:38:53Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:38:55Look who can't even get into a meeting.
00:38:59Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:39:03And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:39:06Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:39:09Used me?
00:39:10Unlike some people.
00:39:12I don't mind being helpful.
00:39:14You're so stupid.
00:39:15She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:39:18Don't worry, Brian.
00:39:19You deserve better.
00:39:21And let's not forget.
00:39:22I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:39:25Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:39:29New branch manager, huh?
00:39:33Interesting.
00:39:34Laura Lewis?
00:39:35What are you doing here?
00:39:36Get out of here!
00:39:37You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:39:40Don't play games, Laura.
00:39:42I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:39:46Only the top companies get those.
00:39:49Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:39:51Is that so?
00:39:53Well then.
00:39:53There seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:39:58You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:40:03And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:40:07Escort them out.
00:40:09What?
00:40:09Their visit is over.
00:40:11Oh, come on.
00:40:11This way, please.
00:40:13I'm not leaving.
00:40:16Move.
00:40:16We're not leaving again.
00:40:17Move.
00:40:18Oh, no, no, no.
00:40:18We're not going.
00:40:19Now.
00:40:19Okay, fine, fine.
00:40:20This isn't over, Laura.
00:40:22You'll see.
00:40:25Thanks for waiting, friend.
00:40:29Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:40:31And thank you for defending me.
00:40:36I really appreciate it.
00:40:39Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:40:44Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:40:50Why?
00:40:51I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:40:54Yes, Laura.
00:41:00There's something you should know.
00:41:02Is this about Ben?
00:41:06Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:41:09He won't even get past security.
00:41:12Laura, it's not Ben.
00:41:15It's someone else.
00:41:16Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:41:23Yes.
00:41:25Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:41:28She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:41:32She's my ex-fiancé.
00:41:35And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:41:41And, let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:41:47And, for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:41:53And, you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting for...
00:42:03Out of jealousy?
00:42:06There's a possibility.
00:42:08She's kind of jealous.
00:42:10Well, all the more reason for you to be there.
00:42:14Besides, I'll be there too.
00:42:20Laura, would you consider being a guest at the meeting?
00:42:26What?
00:42:27Are you worried that this Chloe's going to cause problems for me, too?
00:42:32Maybe a little.
00:42:33But, mostly, I want to show them we're a team.
00:42:37Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:42:43Laura.
00:42:43I don't care about your best.
00:42:50I just want to be by your side.
00:42:52I think I'm falling for you.
00:42:53Brian.
00:42:54I appreciate your honesty.
00:43:06And, right now, I'm just not...
00:43:09I just don't really have romance on my mind right now, just with everything going on and going on and...
00:43:17It's okay.
00:43:18I just want to be upfront.
00:43:23And, if Chloe tries anything, you won't face her alone.
00:43:27There's just one thing I do need.
00:43:34What is it?
00:43:37A formal dress.
00:43:38Ah, security!
00:43:51She doesn't belong here.
00:43:53This is a private store.
00:43:55Excuse me.
00:43:56We need some assistance.
00:43:58I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:44:03Wow.
00:44:04It's beautiful.
00:44:06It is.
00:44:07I'll try this one on.
00:44:08Don't bother with her.
00:44:10She can't afford anything here.
00:44:12She's just a cleaner.
00:44:13She doesn't deserve to shop here.
00:44:15She has no money.
00:44:17Yeah, exactly.
00:44:18I mean, what are you doing here?
00:44:20Can't you just leave me alone?
00:44:21I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.
00:44:24I'm here for retail therapy.
00:44:27Oh, please.
00:44:28This store is for the A-list only.
00:44:30Not some cheapskate like you, says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:44:35Hey, show some respect.
00:44:36Oh, wow.
00:44:38Typical Laura.
00:44:39Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:44:42I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure you're already broke.
00:44:46Please.
00:44:47Come on.
00:44:47We'll take the dress.
00:44:48Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:44:51What do you mean you don't sell it?
00:44:54I want it.
00:44:55Name your price.
00:44:56It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:44:59This one was custom made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.
00:45:02The entire brand belongs to her.
00:45:04This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:45:07It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:45:10What are you talking about?
00:45:12Of course it would suit her.
00:45:13It'd fit her just fine.
00:45:14And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:45:18Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.
00:45:21Oh, please.
00:45:27Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:45:29We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:45:31Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:45:34You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:45:37Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:45:40Of course.
00:45:41It was custom made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group fortune,
00:45:46hand-stitched in Italy, naturally.
00:45:49Apparently there are many more like it.
00:45:51displayed in high-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:45:57Laura, do you like this dress?
00:46:00Of course.
00:46:01It's custom made for me.
00:46:04I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:46:06Oh, you can't be serious.
00:46:08There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:46:11Fine, fine.
00:46:12If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:46:15It would look incredible on me.
00:46:17Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:46:21If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:46:25Are you calling me fat?
00:46:26Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:46:32How's that sound?
00:46:33Sir, are you serious?
00:46:34You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:46:38This brand is worth at least $50 million.
00:46:39And to buy it for a waitress?
00:46:44Are you out of your mind?
00:46:45Yes.
00:46:46You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:46:49Just one second.
00:46:49Yes, this is Brian Shepard, CEO of Shepard Group.
00:46:56I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:46:59I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:47:05What?
00:47:05You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:47:17Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:47:21I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepard Group.
00:47:27Oh, come on.
00:47:29Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:47:32Exactly.
00:47:33Come on, this is pathetic.
00:47:34You really think this is going to work?
00:47:35It's sad.
00:47:36Excellent.
00:47:38Thank you, Mr. Yates, that's all.
00:47:46Yes?
00:47:51What?
00:47:52Are you willing to sell me the brand?
00:47:54Awesome.
00:48:02Hello?
00:48:03Yes?
00:48:05Wow, yes, of course.
00:48:08Absolutely.
00:48:11The store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepard.
00:48:16The Shepard Group is the new owner.
00:48:19How may I be of service today, sir?
00:48:20Well, Laura, I don't know much about fashion, so I would like to give this brand to you.
00:48:27You can't be serious.
00:48:29You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:48:31Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:48:34You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:48:38You're not welcome here.
00:48:39I want the two of these out of my store.
00:48:45I want the two of these out of my store.
00:48:47Of course.
00:48:50Oh, come on.
00:48:51Sir?
00:48:52Ma'am?
00:48:53You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:48:54Well, we're not leaving.
00:48:55Okay?
00:48:56Hey, hey, hey!
00:48:57This isn't over, Laura!
00:48:59Could I try the dress on now?
00:49:00Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:49:02You just follow me.
00:49:03Wow.
00:49:11Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:49:17Laura, you look breath-taking in this dress.
00:49:22Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:49:27Laura, you guys who deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:49:35And that includes this dress.
00:49:40Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:49:44I...
00:49:45I need a moment.
00:49:46But perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:49:53Does that mean it could be a yes?
00:49:56Maybe.
00:50:10Hi.
00:50:13What?
00:50:13Well, well, well.
00:50:17Look who decided to join the party.
00:50:19Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:50:21One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:50:24And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:50:26You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:50:29For this.
00:50:30This gold digger.
00:50:32You know, Ben.
00:50:33I really cared about you.
00:50:35Even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:50:38I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:50:41Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:50:48Enough!
00:50:49I've had enough of this drama.
00:50:50Yeah, me too.
00:50:52Try that again, and you'll regret it.
00:50:55I'll get the hell out of my face.
00:50:57Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:50:59Yeah.
00:51:00I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:51:05What?
00:51:06That's impossible.
00:51:08I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:51:12Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group, your name is on the list.
00:51:16What?
00:51:17Looks like you two won't be getting let in, after all.
00:51:21You don't have an invitation.
00:51:23You're just here because of Brian.
00:51:28Let me see this.
00:51:29This doesn't even look real.
00:51:30It's different from mine.
00:51:32Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:51:36This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:51:39Please, right this way.
00:51:43We can continue this discussion later, if you manage to get in.
00:51:51Sir, Madam, we recommend you leave.
00:51:56There you are!
00:51:57How dare you steal my fiancée!
00:52:01There you are!
00:52:03How dare you steal my fiancée!
00:52:05Looks like another relationship fights the dust, Laura.
00:52:08Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.
00:52:11Get away from him!
00:52:13He's engaged to me!
00:52:14Hey, hey, hey.
00:52:15Hold your horses, Glenn.
00:52:17That ended a long time ago.
00:52:19Engaged to you.
00:52:20Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:52:24Your relationship's history.
00:52:27That was just a little tiff.
00:52:28You really think that could tear us apart?
00:52:32Don't you know who I am?
00:52:34Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:52:36Oh, honey.
00:52:37She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.
00:52:40She's just a maid, remember?
00:52:42I don't have time for all this drama.
00:52:45Brian?
00:52:47Let's head inside.
00:52:49Brian!
00:52:50How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:52:54Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:52:58There's nothing left to say, Chloe.
00:52:59Don't make this a scene.
00:53:01Shall we?
00:53:02You okay, Miss Duke?
00:53:10And you are?
00:53:11Amber Smith.
00:53:13I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:53:16What branch?
00:53:17I've never heard of it.
00:53:18What do you want from me?
00:53:19That Laura!
00:53:21She tore up my invitation.
00:53:22Do you think you can get me inside?
00:53:24What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:53:28Please don't waste my time.
00:53:49If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:54:05The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:54:09Chloe!
00:54:10Good to see you.
00:54:10I've been expecting you.
00:54:12Uncle Jones.
00:54:13How are you?
00:54:14Good.
00:54:16I need your help with something.
00:54:18What is it?
00:54:19Anything for my little Chloe.
00:54:21It's Brian.
00:54:23Who's that woman?
00:54:24I thought you were...
00:54:26She's a con woman.
00:54:27She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:54:30What?
00:54:31Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:54:37Well, she's pretending to be a Lewis to get close to him.
00:54:39What are you planning?
00:54:43I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:54:48Anyway, I'm terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:54:52I had no idea she would be so...
00:54:55intense.
00:54:59What do you mean?
00:55:00You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:55:03I mean, you guys are just...
00:55:05power couple.
00:55:07I see what you're doing.
00:55:11Power couple, you say.
00:55:13More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:55:18Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:55:20Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:55:24is up there.
00:55:27Really?
00:55:28She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:55:30Excuse me.
00:55:31This is my VIP invitation.
00:55:34I can sit wherever I like.
00:55:37Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:55:39This is signed by all three VPs of Lewis Group.
00:55:42Where did you get this?
00:55:45Who did you have to sleep with?
00:55:46That's enough.
00:55:49This is getting us nowhere.
00:55:51Laura is my guest.
00:55:53And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:55:58Got it?
00:56:00Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?
00:56:04Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:56:06She's from a good family.
00:56:08Beautiful and successful.
00:56:11What more could you ask for?
00:56:12That's a good question.
00:56:15Not much, actually.
00:56:15Honesty.
00:56:19That's what I want.
00:56:21And love.
00:56:23Things that clearly, Chloe has no idea.
00:56:26I said I was sorry.
00:56:28What more do you want?
00:56:30I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:56:32She's like a daughter to me.
00:56:34I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:56:40One more chance, Brian.
00:56:42Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:56:43Do it, Mr. Shepard.
00:56:47Propose right here, right now.
00:56:50Brian?
00:56:53Well, is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:56:58By forcing a ring on someone?
00:57:01Do it, or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:57:10Don't you dare.
00:57:12You're humiliating yourself.
00:57:15How dare you?
00:57:16Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:57:19Yes.
00:57:21I like her.
00:57:24But I can't imagine someone like her interested in me.
00:57:27The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:57:34Why would you choose someone like her?
00:57:37I know.
00:57:37I know.
00:57:37I'm just like...
00:57:38Exactly.
00:57:39This woman is trouble.
00:57:40She doesn't belong here.
00:57:42Throw her out!
00:57:43You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:57:48Interesting turn of events.
00:57:51Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:57:54Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing
00:58:00heiress Laura Lewis?
00:58:04You know what?
00:58:04Maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:58:06How ridiculous.
00:58:08Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:58:09I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow.
00:58:17Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:58:21You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:58:23That's enough.
00:58:25You don't get to talk here.
00:58:26You got mad, Shepard.
00:58:28You dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:58:29And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:58:32Anyone who insults Laura.
00:58:35Leave us with a black eye.
00:58:37She's willing to offend the Duke for her.
00:58:38What kind of charm does she have?
00:58:40I want to be careful, Brian.
00:58:42Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:58:46Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:58:50The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone.
00:58:53Especially not Shepard Group.
00:58:59Lewis Group RS?
00:59:01You?
00:59:02Don't make me laugh.
00:59:05Security!
00:59:06Remove these two imposters from the premise.
00:59:09Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:59:10Give Brian another chance.
00:59:12Choose, Brian.
00:59:14Me and the future you deserve.
00:59:16Or this fraud.
00:59:20Chloe.
00:59:22I have everything I ever wanted.
00:59:24Right here.
00:59:26And I wouldn't trade for all the power to Duke's home in Maplewood.
00:59:30Fine.
00:59:30Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:59:38What?
00:59:40You forced my hand, Brian.
00:59:43Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:59:45The Duke family.
00:59:46They can't be serious.
00:59:48Shepard Group is doomed.
00:59:49Brian.
00:59:50You don't have to do this for me.
00:59:54Laura.
00:59:54I will never let anyone bully you.
00:59:58Let alone them.
00:59:59Thank you, Brian, for...
01:00:02For believing in me.
01:00:05For protecting me.
01:00:07Now it's my turn to protect you.
01:00:17Listen carefully.
01:00:19I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.
01:00:22At all costs.
01:00:24Don't let it drop.
01:00:26Even one cent.
01:00:29Do you understand?
01:00:30Wow.
01:00:32Award winning performance, Laura.
01:00:34But you can't possibly control the stock market.
01:00:38Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
01:00:42If the Shepard stock holds
01:00:46for the next five minutes,
01:00:50You owe me a public apology.
01:00:59Deal.
01:01:03Well.
01:01:05Looks like your five minutes is up.
01:01:09Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
01:01:15What the?
01:01:17The Shepard Group stock prices?
01:01:19It's going up!
01:01:20This can't be happening.
01:01:22It must be a coincidence.
01:01:29Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
01:01:32There was a huge investment.
01:01:34We couldn't compete.
01:01:35Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
01:01:38How did you do this?
01:01:40Like I said, Chloe.
01:01:44I'm Laura Lewis.
01:01:47No, you're not.
01:01:48You're just some cleaner.
01:01:49You don't have access to billions.
01:01:51Well.
01:01:53I think it's time for my apology.
01:02:00No.
01:02:00I think it's time for my apology.
01:02:03There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
01:02:05If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me, Chloe?
01:02:10The truth is, everyone here has seen you be a bully and a coward and now a sore loser.
01:02:23This is so humiliating for her.
01:02:26How did she manage that?
01:02:28Maybe she really is a Lewis.
01:02:30Apologize to Miss Lewis.
01:02:32Apologize to Miss Lewis.
01:02:33Shut up.
01:02:34Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
01:02:38Don't forget, the Duke family owned half of Maplewood.
01:02:41You don't lose our voice.
01:02:42Let's get out of here.
01:02:45Hold on.
01:02:47This is where I belong.
01:02:50And that is my chair.
01:02:54You can't go there.
01:02:55That is the VIP section.
01:02:57Only those invited by the Lewis Group vice presidents get to sit there.
01:03:01Like I said, Chloe, that's my seat.
01:03:11Had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
01:03:14Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepard, wasn't it?
01:03:22Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
01:03:25Is this how you charm all your men?
01:03:27Shall we?
01:03:29My pleasure.
01:03:29What are you doing?
01:03:32Let go.
01:03:34It doesn't matter what happened.
01:03:35I choose to stay by Laura's side.
01:03:39Let's go.
01:03:41Don't be absurd.
01:03:42That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
01:03:46Someone so esteemed, even the vice presidents have to bow low.
01:03:52And how exactly, Mr. Jones?
01:03:56Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
01:04:02Wait, that's Peter Young, Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group.
01:04:09Ask Peter Young.
01:04:10He decides which investments are they?
01:04:11Mr. Young, it's Chloe Duke, Head of Duke Industries.
01:04:14So glad you could join us.
01:04:15Why is everyone standing around?
01:04:17It's her.
01:04:18She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:04:22It's embarrassing.
01:04:23That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:04:27Specifically the family heir.
01:04:29Please get off the stage.
01:04:30Oh, yes.
01:04:32Mr. Young, was it?
01:04:35I think I remember you.
01:04:36You manage my family's investments.
01:04:40Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:04:43Please get off the stage.
01:04:44That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:04:47I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:04:50I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:05:02This is ridiculous.
01:05:04You, the Lewis heir.
01:05:06Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:05:09You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:05:12Exactly.
01:05:13We ran a background check on her,
01:05:15and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:05:19And before that,
01:05:20I could see her in my famous supermarket.
01:05:23See, Brian?
01:05:24This is who you've been chasing after.
01:05:26A liar and a cheat.
01:05:28Security!
01:05:29Get this imposter out of here.
01:05:31And everyone here is a witness.
01:05:33Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:05:36If any of you dares to harm her,
01:05:39you have to go through me first.
01:05:42Brian, she's just a nobody.
01:05:45She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:05:48They didn't even want her.
01:05:50What exactly do you see in her?
01:05:52Escort this imposter out of here.
01:05:54Now.
01:05:55Oh, Peter.
01:05:55Peter.
01:05:56Do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:06:07Hey, Mr. Yates.
01:06:08I'm so glad you could join us.
01:06:12Miss Lewis.
01:06:13Sorry about the delay.
01:06:15And for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:06:17It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.
01:06:20Luckily, I haven't been alone.
01:06:22I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.
01:06:28Wait a minute.
01:06:30She's Miss Lewis.
01:06:30Is this a joke?
01:06:32Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group.
01:06:35So I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:06:39But you listened to lies without checking the facts.
01:06:43And almost called the police.
01:06:46Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?
01:06:51Is that my uncle, Ian Lewis?
01:06:56I knew it.
01:07:00Consider this your termination.
01:07:04I get it now.
01:07:05This is all an act.
01:07:07Right?
01:07:08Chloe, what are you doing?
01:07:09We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:07:10Work with him?
01:07:11Are you blind?
01:07:12This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:07:16That's enough, young lady.
01:07:17You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:07:20Oh, Chloe.
01:07:24I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:07:25I think you need some professional help.
01:07:29Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:07:32Chloe, that's enough.
01:07:34It's ridiculous.
01:07:35If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:07:38So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:07:40Show us the ring!
01:07:41Why don't you show that to everyone?
01:07:46Show us the ring!
01:07:47Show us the ring!
01:07:48Show us the ring!
01:07:49Who are you to make demands of me?
01:07:52I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:07:56I don't need any of your validation.
01:07:59Oh, there's a ring.
01:08:07Vice Presidents, I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:08:11This woman is an imposter.
01:08:13Miss Lewis, we apologize for the delay.
01:08:17How could you just let that con woman sit there?
01:08:19Get her out of here!
01:08:20This seat was always for Miss Lewis.
01:08:24She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:08:27The investment queen.
01:08:29The real heir to Lewis Group.
01:08:32Laura Lewis.
01:08:34She's a divorced host wife.
01:08:35A janitor.
01:08:36How can she?
01:08:37She can't be.
01:08:38It's a lie, I'm telling you.
01:08:39It's a lie.
01:08:40Do you think we'd lie?
01:08:42We run Lewis Group.
01:08:44Oh, Chloe.
01:08:46You assaulted me earlier.
01:08:48And you came to this meeting to what?
01:08:52Sabotage it.
01:08:54You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:08:59Is this true, Miss Duke?
01:09:01Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:09:04Yes, it's all true.
01:09:06She fooled us all.
01:09:08The Duke tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewoods and control everything themselves.
01:09:13I had no idea.
01:09:15But I'm on your side.
01:09:16I can give you everything you need.
01:09:20All the resources in Maplewoods.
01:09:22Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:09:26An eye for an eye.
01:09:30Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things,
01:09:36I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:09:42I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.
01:09:45You're bluffing.
01:09:47You're nobody.
01:09:48You'll always be a nobody.
01:09:50And you can't touch me.
01:09:51Then consider this a test, Chloe.
01:09:55I didn't need my family's support with Shepard and I certainly don't need it now.
01:10:00Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:10:03You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family with just the Shepard group?
01:10:09Please.
01:10:09We'll see.
01:10:18Dad?
01:10:19Slow down.
01:10:21What are you talking about?
01:10:23No.
01:10:25It's impossible.
01:10:26Chloe, what have you done?
01:10:30Years of hard work.
01:10:31Just draw it in minutes.
01:10:35What did you do?
01:10:38Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted?
01:10:42To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:10:45This is impossible.
01:10:47It's impossible.
01:10:49Chloe, what have you done?
01:10:52The news is everywhere.
01:10:53Hey, Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market.
01:10:57They're hammering our shares.
01:10:59Are you sure it's just Shepard's?
01:11:01Yes.
01:11:02Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.
01:11:06We could go bankrupt.
01:11:08You've ruined everything.
01:11:09Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:11:10When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it.
01:11:15At a fire sale price.
01:11:16Your employees won't even be affected.
01:11:18Brilliant.
01:11:19A masterstroke, Ms. Lewis.
01:11:21Now, this is my event.
01:11:27Please leave.
01:11:28Brian, I did this for us.
01:11:30Everything I did, I did for us, Brian.
01:11:34Chloe, you need help.
01:11:38These feelings you have for me, it's not love.
01:11:42It's obsession.
01:11:44Enough.
01:11:45If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me right now.
01:11:51No.
01:11:52Right now.
01:11:53No.
01:11:55Ryan!
01:12:01Laura!
01:12:02This isn't over!
01:12:03Get out of me!
01:12:05What is this?
01:12:06What?
01:12:07You hear me?
01:12:09What is going on here?
01:12:11Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:12:13Shepard Group.
01:12:15They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood.
01:12:19They're handling all future construction projects.
01:12:21That can't be.
01:12:23What about us?
01:12:24That was our project.
01:12:25Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:12:28Harrison Group is practically out.
01:12:29We have no chance.
01:12:31We can't give up that easily.
01:12:33Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.
01:12:37In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.
01:12:40You're right.
01:12:41If we can just meet with a new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with
01:12:45the Lewis Group.
01:12:47We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:12:51That's right.
01:12:55Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.
01:13:01I'm sure I've mentioned him before.
01:13:03Mr. Shepard, it's finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:13:06We've looked into your company's financial review.
01:13:10Very impressive.
01:13:12Thank you, bud.
01:13:14A large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:13:18She practically saved me from disaster.
01:13:21Three times over now.
01:13:22Brian, you can just call me Laura.
01:13:25Ms. Lewis' recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:13:29Perhaps today he clarifies everything.
01:13:32Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is golden.
01:13:36Seize it.
01:13:38A woman like Laura is not easy to find.
01:13:41Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:13:51Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:13:54Laura?
01:13:55Hardly.
01:13:56I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:14:02So you're Laura's uncle?
01:14:04In the flesh.
01:14:07So Laura really is your niece?
01:14:09Yes.
01:14:10Little Laura.
01:14:11She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.
01:14:16Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.
01:14:19I think he was a Harrison.
01:14:20Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:14:24Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:14:28And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?
01:14:31If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:14:34Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke.
01:14:37We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:14:42What if I, what if I fail?
01:14:44My family is already ruined.
01:14:46Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.
01:14:49But, if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.
01:14:57Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side.
01:14:59How can I possibly get the ring?
01:15:01There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.
01:15:10Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:15:13Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:15:19Laura.
01:15:20It's so good to see you.
01:15:22And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps.
01:15:27How have you been?
01:15:28I've been well, Uncle Ian.
01:15:29Thank you for asking.
01:15:32I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:15:36Yes.
01:15:36Kind of been easy.
01:15:37Indeed, somebody had to.
01:15:39I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands,
01:15:44I hate to think it would have happened to the company.
01:15:47Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard,
01:15:51you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:15:55Yes, minor mistakes, minor.
01:15:58Don't worry, Uncle Ian.
01:16:00I won't hold it against you.
01:16:02Oh, good.
01:16:04Well, cheers to you coming back here.
01:16:07And the Lewis Group.
01:16:10Oh, I'm so sorry, Laura.
01:16:14How clumsy of me.
01:16:15No, no worries, Uncle Ian.
01:16:18I, I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:16:21Of course.
01:16:23Right away, just down to the left.
01:16:31Use it wisely.
01:16:33Oh, I will.
01:16:34Hey, Laura.
01:16:49How's that?
01:16:51Hello, Brian.
01:16:52Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:16:54Chloe,
01:16:54how in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:16:58Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:17:00Listen, Chloe.
01:17:03Don't hurt her.
01:17:05Please.
01:17:06I'll do anything.
01:17:08Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.
01:17:13Now.
01:17:14Don't tell anyone
01:17:16if you want her alive.
01:17:20Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:17:22Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up.
01:17:28I am sorry.
01:17:28How clumsy.
01:17:30And don't forget your phone.
01:17:31I retrieved it for you.
01:17:33Oh, I'm going to be in.
01:17:34Lovely to see you again.
01:17:35Yeah.
01:17:36I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:17:39At the banquet.
01:17:42I'll see you then.
01:17:43Will do.
01:17:44Looking forward to it.
01:17:48Laura!
01:17:49Laura!
01:17:50Where are you?
01:17:51Laura!
01:17:52Where are you?
01:17:56God, Laura.
01:17:57Laura, where are you?
01:17:59Laura!
01:18:04Gotcha.
01:18:07You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:18:19Finally.
01:18:20Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:18:23What the?
01:18:23Laura, where are you?
01:18:25Laura?
01:18:25Laura?
01:18:26Go shut your mouth.
01:18:28Chloe.
01:18:30What have you done?
01:18:31You out of your mind?
01:18:32Out of my mind?
01:18:34You were the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!
01:18:37That's not true.
01:18:39You were the one who messed up!
01:18:40Brian!
01:18:41Brian!
01:18:41Laura!
01:18:44Stay where you are.
01:18:45You better not come alone.
01:18:49Drop this knife, Chloe.
01:18:50This is insane!
01:18:52Insane?
01:18:53I did this for us, Brian!
01:18:55We were meant to be together.
01:18:57Oh, my God.
01:18:59Us?
01:18:59You've gone crazy!
01:19:01And you're out of here!
01:19:02Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious offense.
01:19:07They're going to lock you up for years!
01:19:09You think I care about jail time?
01:19:12All I care about is tearing you two apart.
01:19:14You don't deserve him.
01:19:16What you've done, you've destroyed my life, my company, everything!
01:19:23Now I'm going to destroy your life.
01:19:26Give me a family ring now.
01:19:29Give it to me!
01:19:30This is about the ring.
01:19:32Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:19:36You know, Chloe, trying to kill me, that's foolish.
01:19:42Because who do you think is going to win?
01:19:44Like, you, that little knife, or me, with something a little bit more persuasive.
01:20:00Freeze!
01:20:02Don't move, anyone.
01:20:06Don't move.
01:20:07You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:20:10Miss Lewis, having fun without me?
01:20:13I'm hurt.
01:20:15Brian.
01:20:17Are you hurt?
01:20:18No, I'm okay.
01:20:20I'm okay.
01:20:22Tell me, Chloe.
01:20:25Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:20:27Why should I tell you?
01:20:29You're going to kill me anyway.
01:20:31Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:20:34But if you don't talk,
01:20:36your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:20:41Oh, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:20:44So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:20:47Talk,
01:20:48or face the consequences.
01:20:50Fine.
01:20:51It was Ian Lewis.
01:20:53He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the banker today.
01:20:57Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:21:01I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:21:06Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:21:08Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:21:10This is crazy.
01:21:22Are we really sure we can do this?
01:21:23All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:21:26Absolutely.
01:21:27The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:21:29We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:21:31Exactly.
01:21:32We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:21:36There's Ian Lewis now.
01:21:38You can introduce us.
01:21:39Let's go.
01:21:39Yeah.
01:21:42Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:21:43I'm Amber Smith.
01:21:44We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:21:46This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:21:48How do you do?
01:21:49We're the company that...
01:21:50Yes, I know who you are.
01:21:52Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:21:56Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:22:02Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:22:03Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:22:07The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:22:11Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:22:15A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:22:18Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group, Miss Laura Lewis.
01:22:23Look, everybody, attention.
01:22:26Attention, please.
01:22:28There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:22:34I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:22:41And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:22:44She has not survived.
01:22:45What?
01:22:48Laura Lewis is dead?
01:22:51It doesn't matter now.
01:22:52She's gone.
01:22:53Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:22:55A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:22:58But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:23:02Hold on.
01:23:05Who said that I'm dead?
01:23:09Laura.
01:23:14I don't understand.
01:23:15What's happening?
01:23:17Laura?
01:23:19But weren't you...
01:23:20My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:23:23There seems to be some misunderstanding.
01:23:27Laura, what are you doing here?
01:23:29You've got to stop this.
01:23:30If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:23:32I'll say this once.
01:23:33Back off, then.
01:23:40Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:23:42As I'm sure you know,
01:23:44tonight,
01:23:45I officially reclaim my title
01:23:48as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:23:54Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.
01:23:59Impossible.
01:24:00How are you still alive?
01:24:01Well, clearly I am alive and well.
01:24:04So why don't we get this started?
01:24:06No.
01:24:07You're not the rightful heir.
01:24:09You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:24:13Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument?
01:24:15The best that you have that I got married too quickly?
01:24:18Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago
01:24:21and married a stranger
01:24:22and left me to work tirelessly,
01:24:25keeping the company together.
01:24:26Uncle Ian, retire.
01:24:28Enjoy your retirement.
01:24:31Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:24:33No.
01:24:34There can only be one heir,
01:24:37and that's me.
01:24:38And the rightful heir has possession
01:24:40of this.
01:24:42You think a ring makes an heir?
01:24:45You're even more foolish
01:24:46than I could have ever imagined.
01:24:49Give that back to me.
01:24:51This.
01:24:52Yes.
01:24:53You think some shiny gold thing
01:24:55makes you the heir?
01:24:57Give it back.
01:24:58True leadership
01:25:00is about earning the respect
01:25:03of those around you,
01:25:05not some stupid ring.
01:25:08Oh, my ring?
01:25:09What have you done?
01:25:10Where is it?
01:25:10My ring?
01:25:14Oh.
01:25:15Now, everyone,
01:25:16if I could have your attention.
01:25:18How dare you?
01:25:19Now, let me show you
01:25:20how a true heir
01:25:22earns a ring like that.
01:25:27Talk
01:25:27or face the consequences.
01:25:29Fine.
01:25:30It was Ian Lewis.
01:25:32He said he helped
01:25:33you can destroy
01:25:34if I kept you away
01:25:35from the bankers today.
01:25:36Oh, quite the spectacle,
01:25:40Miss Lewis.
01:25:42Security,
01:25:43escort him out.
01:25:45And Ian,
01:25:46don't fall over.
01:25:47It's all lies.
01:25:48It's all lies.
01:25:49Fakery.
01:25:50It's fake news.
01:25:50The proof is clear.
01:25:51Get him out of here.
01:25:52Now.
01:25:56I owe all of you
01:25:57an apology
01:25:58for everything
01:25:59that's happened tonight.
01:26:01Turns out,
01:26:01reclaiming my birthright
01:26:03didn't go as smoothly
01:26:05as I had hoped.
01:26:07Luckily,
01:26:08these past few days,
01:26:09I've had
01:26:10Mr. Shepherd
01:26:12by my side.
01:26:14And he has been
01:26:15a great support.
01:26:18Lewis Group
01:26:19has a lot of exciting plans
01:26:22for Maplewood.
01:26:24I'm proud to announce
01:26:25that we have secured
01:26:28a reliable partner.
01:26:32Shepherd Group.
01:26:33What?
01:26:34Laura, hold on.
01:26:36This was never my idea.
01:26:38This was all
01:26:38Kathy and Amber's fault.
01:26:39I don't want a divorce.
01:26:41What?
01:26:41Then what are you saying?
01:26:43You came to me first.
01:26:44Classic Ben.
01:26:45Something goes wrong
01:26:47and you start
01:26:47pointing the fingers
01:26:48at all the women
01:26:49in your life.
01:26:50Just don't
01:26:51shut Harrison Group out.
01:26:52Just give me
01:26:53another chance.
01:26:54How could I shut you out?
01:26:56I'm just a cleaner,
01:26:57remember?
01:26:58I'm just a useless
01:26:59housewife.
01:27:01I don't have that power.
01:27:04What are you talking about?
01:27:05What?
01:27:05No, come on.
01:27:06Sorry.
01:27:06No, please.
01:27:07No.
01:27:09Um, Mr. Shepherd?
01:27:11Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:27:12I was wondering if
01:27:14maybe you wanted
01:27:17to grab dinner
01:27:18sometime.
